"We did prosection yesterday, which means that they've been previously dissected by an expert.

We were looking at structures, answering questions. It's really helpful to revise your anatomy."

"So one really great thing about BSMS is that we get assigned a medic family.

I've got two amazing medic mums who are so kind and helpful and two medic sisters and they are really great friends."

"It's a really beautiful campus surrounded by greenery and trees. It's wonderful to study in such a beautiful place.

We're on the South Downs National Park and it's just incredible."

"At BSMS we do dissection. Full cadaveric dissection as well as prosection.

The difference being that dissection you actually get hand-on and prosection someone does it for you. We've got a combination of both."

"The professors and lecturers are so supportive here. Every week we have a little help session that you can go to and just ask any questions you have.

"The uni is so supportive and you have all your friends here as well. People in older years are so willing to help. I've reached out to my medic mum and grandma quite a few times now and it's just such a nice community."

"What I love about the library is that it is still open during lockdown, which is amazing. But it's also a really nice and cosy place. I absolutely love it.

"I absolutely love lectures and actually online they're not too bad. The good thing about it is that you can stop it whenever you want and then you can go back. You can take notes and it's absolutely amazing."

"It's really nice to have a live session because it means you can actually talk to the lecturers and the other med students.

"I really like the live lectures because it's really easy to have a conversation and interactions and it's kind of the closest thing to being in a lecture theatre."
